CARPET-LINING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,615, dated June 23, 1885.

Application filed July 21, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern- Be it known that I, JosEPH H. BEALE, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carpet-Linings, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap, simple, durable, and efficient carpetlining whichshallovercome certain objections eXistingin carpet-linings heretofore constructed, and it consists in the construction combination,and arrangement of the several parts, as hereinafter more fully described, and set forth in the claims.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a roll of carpet-lining constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 represents a similar View showing an additional strengtheningslip secured upon the opposite side of the same.

A represents the bottom or under sheet of paper the opposite edges, B, of which are extended beyond the top sheet, 0, and turned over upon the same, as shown, and the edges B of the said under sheet of paper, A, thus turned over upon the said top sheet of paper, 0, are secured in such position by narrow tape strips of tough paper E pasted thereon over the said edges B of the under sheet, A, and upon the contiguous portion of the upper sheet of paper, 0, thus covering the joint formed by the said turned-over edges of the under sheet upon the said upper sheet, and thereby securely uniting the two sheets of paper, or bottom sheet and top sheet, without the aid of stitches,making a much stronger and smoother jointconnection, which will not rip or separate, and which will secure the opposite edges of the tape strip with the paper sheets composing the two opposite sides of the carpet lining as completed. These sheets of paper A and O inclc se the usual filling material, H, of any well-known fiber, which is retainedin position between the said sheets of paper, and secured therein by means of paste applied to the under side of the strengthening tape strips F of paper, which are provided upon one or both sides of the said lining, as may be desired, being pasted so as to adhere to the surface of the main outer sheets, A or 0, one or both of which are provided with a series of holes, 1?, which permit the paste upon the said tape strips F to contact with portions of the said fibrous material H, and thereby attach and secure it to the said tape strips F, throughout theirline of connection and attachment, thus uniting the strengthening-strips with the surface of the outer sheet of paper and with the fibrous filling material at the same time in a very cheap, simple, expeditious, and durable manner. The said sheets of paper Aand O, I contemplate forming of any short cheap fiber, or employing a cheap grade of paper for the same, and strengthen ing the sheets by employing a tougher or stronger paper for forming the said tape strips E and F. I also contemplate employing a strengthening tape-strip, L, of paper, secured to one or both of the outer sheets, A or G, as shown in Fig. 2, being connected with the outer surface of the sheet or sheets by means of paste applied to the surface of the said strip L of paper before it is brought into contact therewith, all thesaid tape strips of paper being secured at the same time.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A carpet-lining composed of two sheets of paper, the edges of one being folded over upon the other and secured in position by strips of paper pasted over the folded edges and upon the other sheet, and a filling material secured between the said sheets by means of a strip of paper pasted over a series of holes formed in one of the sheets and upon the filling material opposite said holes, so as to unite the filling to the strip, as described.

2. A carpet-lining composed of two sheets of paper and provided with a filling material secured between said sheets by means of a strip of paper pasted over a series of holes formed in one of the sheets and upon the filling material opposite said holes, so as to unite the filling to the strip and retain it in position with the sheet, substantially as described.
